My Book Review : A Walk to Remember

                                        A Walk to Remember - Nicholas Sparks      A beautiful love story about a teenage couple. It shows how Love can Happen.

The story is a definite example of the fact that, we do commit mistakes in our lives, and that there are chances to rectify them as well.

But before we try to bring all the top-honchos to book, it is important that we do come across the various moments of unusualness which exist in our daily lives. We all usually tend to have a strange affection towards getting things done easily. Jumping up front in a queue, getting a favor from someone to get something done, its considered all so normal. Actually, that's the sole emotional reason, or rather the root of favors. The concept of having contacts must not be the means to get cranky about getting things done in a jiffy. So as long as that sense of accepted-easiness remains etched in the min
